Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) affects about 400,000 patients worldwide. Current therapy for CAH uses a variety of generic glucocorticoid steroids (including hydrocortisone, dexamethasone, prednisolone, and prednisone in the US) with no standard treatment regimen. The cortisol deficiency and over-production of male sex hormones caused by CAH can lead to increased mortality, infertility, and sexual development … Continued
In 2020, the US FDA approved Risdiplam (Evrysdi®) as the first orally administered drug to treat SMA in patients ≥2 months old, followed by the European Medicine Agency. Risdiplam addresses the underlying cause of SMA: a reduced amount of survival motor neuron (SMN) protein.
Guanfacine (Intuniv® XR) extended release (GXR) is an orally administered, selective alpha2A-adrenergic receptor agonist, non-stimulant treatment for children and adolescents with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Guanfacine is primarily metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme. Thus, it was important to evaluate the drug-drug interaction (DDI) liability perpetrated by strong inhibitors and inducers of CYP3A4. Using data from … Continued
Everolimus (Afinitor®) was recently approved as adjunctive therapy for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC)-associated partial seizures in ages 2 and older. Unlike many other therapies for treating TSC-associated seizures, everolimus addresses the underlying pathophysiology of TSC. As TSC-associated seizures can also affect children aged between 6 months and 2 years, a modeling and simulation approach that … Continued
Princeton, N.J., August 4, 2021: Certara, the global leader in biosimulation, today announced it will host the inaugural New Horizons in Pediatric Drug Development Symposium taking place October 28-29, 2021. The two-day virtual symposium is being held to bring together thought leaders and innovators in pediatric drug development to share new developments in the field … Continued
